lives on the property.REMAINS: One
standing building, many foundations and other building remnants,
a huge stamp mill, and mining equipment.

Golconda's post office was established
December 8, 1909 and discontinued February 28, 1918. The Golconda
mine was discovered in the 1860's and worked without a town at
the site until John Boyle bought the mine around the turn of
the century. Then in 1917, oil in one of the mill's flotation
tanks boiled over and started a fire that, together with the
drop in the price of lead and zinc, spelled doom for Golconda.
Today there are scattered remains in the Cerbat Hills.
